Ionia Standard – Friday, 23 February 1906
A dispatch received by Dr. A. E. Cottingham Wednesday announced the death of 
Mrs. George S. Cooper, in Detroit, Tuesday night. She was stricken with 
paralysis Tuesday morning and was unable to rally from the shock.  Mr. and 
Mrs. Cooper came to Ionia in 1860 when Mr. Cooper opened the dry goods 
salesroom known as “New England Store”.  For 25 years or more he was among the 
most prominent business men of the town, and was active in politics and in all 
matters affecting public interests.  Mrs. Cooper was as energetic and 
prominent in her sphere of action as her husband and was recognized as a woman 
of unusual force of character and with social tact and charm that made her 
widely known and highly esteemed.  Mr. Cooper retired from business in Ionia 
ten years or more ago and he and Mrs. Cooper went to Montana where Mr. Cooper 
died about three years ago.  Mrs. Cooper was here some months during past year 
and derived much pleasure in meeting with old time friends.  For some months 
she has been staying at the home of her adopted son, Robert G. Cooper in 
Detroit where the final summons came.  Remains will be brought to Ionia for 
interment arriving on Friday at 12:40 p.m. by Pere Marquette and taken to 
Highland Park.  Funeral service will be in Detroit.
